Pros

The only pro of working here was that I was allotted 22 days of PTO in my first year of work.

Cons

Relentless workload forces employees to the brink of insanity on a daily basis. I have witnessed a year long cry for help from my coworkers for a solution, but have yet to see any positive changes implemented. The amount of work received by an adjuster daily makes it impossible to answer every phone call, return every voicemail, or settle claims with other insurance companies. The result; a level of customer service that I would hate to receive if I was a customer. A relatively simple concept of handling claims is made unattainable due to the inability in the company to listen to and care about employees. Consider this a warning; do not seek employment with Allstate. Within the past year, I have observed the following; -Office relocation without any assistance or reimbursement to employees, some of which are tenured with the company for over 30, 40 or 50 years -Termination of two employees replaced by virtual jobs -A cap placed on PTO for employees of 30 days per year. (This previously increased by 5 days for every 5 years with the company) -Holdback of one week of pay from all employees in order to adopt a new back paying payroll system

Pros

PTO Time off in your first year (you will need it for this job), education reimbursement immediately other than this not much positive at this company!

Cons

Very low pay compared to the industry, extremely micro managed, same people get promoted, no career path (they try to sell you on it is a possibility but you start to realize it is just a pipe dream if your "numbers" aren't what they want and on top of it a promotion should be how you would do that new job not how your numbers are currently), 25 new employees in the department every 3 months, 401k vesting takes 3 years so no point in investing in it if you are not planning to stay 3 years. Department is set up to "investigate issues on your own" while the managers have no idea how to do the job and if you do not follow the "standard process" you will get bad reviews even though you resolved the customer issue. Department is setup to say no to customers on almost every issue and "show the agent why". Very little room for innovative forward thinking individuals that are motivated.

Pros

Cab facility Higher management wants to make sure employees are benefitted but need to be a puppet to middle management to get those benefits

Cons

Third party vendors behave like your managers and they screw up your work life balance and career Legacy applications and processes . No longer term on-site. So growth is limited in every aspect Managers neither know managing team nor can safeguard them from third parties nuisance. So your life is miserable on daily basis. Work life balance is best for managers puppet. For rest it will be Real HELL. Managers can be so mean that they can make sure you are not paid during your notice period. HR is worst and they support management saying that it's company policy. Check the allstate policies and you cannot find that anywhere. Managers don't know how to retain talent. So there is very less percentage who actually know how to work
